LG to roll out ICS updates in Q2 and Q3

LG is joining the likes of Samsung, Sony Ericsson and Motorola in announcing its Ice Cream Sandwich update schedule. In keeping with Android tradition, the updates will be painfully slow and not all devices will be covered.

LG plans to start rolling out updates for the LG Optimus LTE, Optimus 2X, Optimus Sol, its Prada phone and a couple of other handsets in Q2. Updates for the Optimus 3D, Optimus Black, Optimus Big, Optimus EX and Optimus Q3 will show up in Q3, just in time for nobody to care about them.

However, if you are in the market for a phone that won’t be obsolete by the time the next update rolls out, LG is also working on new Mango device. The LG Fantasy is said to feature a 4-inch IPS screen and it should appear at CES, with availability expected later in Q1.
